Christmas Activities

Last Sunday, Joshua was part of the Christmas Cantata that our church put on. The kids sang too and, in addition to the regular parts (angels, etc), some were dressed up as different professions... fisherman, shepherd, carpenter, etc for one of the songs. Joshua was a teacher. He did a great job & enjoyed being a part of it.


The music was wonderful! And since Joshua performed for both services, we got to hear it twice.


I loved hearing the children sing. And they were so cute!


Here is where Joshua was doing the part of a teacher, complete with glasses & a huge dictionary, while Mary sang, "Who Would Imagine a King?".


David has been teaching Joshua how to play different chords on his guitar lately. He's gotten so good that he can sing & play at the same time. So for Christmas, he wanted to surprise Grammie by playing Silent Night & The First Noel, since she hadn't heard him play any real songs yet.

I got pictures of him on Christmas, but then recorded him singing the next day. I put those 2 videos on facebook, but can't figure out how to add them here on my blog.


Some other fun Christmas-time things we did this month that we hadn't done before: We went to see a live nativity outside at a church (including live animals), went to a St. Nicholas party where we learned about the real St. Nicholas & how he helped people, watched the African Children's Choir perform, and were a part of a flash mob at the mall, singing Silent Night.
